T0 all l1/71077?, it mfc/,y (1071.007471..-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH H. DARY, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Glens Falls, in the county of Warren and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bagging-Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to certain improvements in that class of devices which may be termed baggers for filling or bagging cement, cc., into bags or sacks--as, for instance, in connection with a weighing and delivering' machine. It has for its object, among other things, to control the filling of the bag or sack with material, to provide for properly holding the bag or sack in position and open to receive the material, also to promote facility and convenience of operation and to otherwise improve the machine.

The nature of the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of the parts, including their construction, substantially as hereinafter more fully disclosed, and specifically pointed out by the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the preferred embodiment of my invention, Figure l is a sectional elevation thereof. Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line fr .fr of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line 1/ ,1/ of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a similar section taken on the line .e e of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a like section taken on the line (t a of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a broken sectional view, partly in side View, taken on the line b b of Fig. 3. Fig. 7 is a broken sectional view taken vertically through the wall and adjusting means of one of the pockets of the compartmentchamber.

It will be understood that I do not limit myself to details herein, as they may be changed according to circumstances without departing from the spirit of lmy invention and the same remain intact and be protected.

In carrying out my invention I preferably employ in connection with, say, the hopper 1 of a weighing and delivering machine for cement or other material a shaft 2, with its upper end suitably held in place and equipped within said hopper with a suitable arrangement of arms or agitators 3 for loosening and aiding the downward iiow or movement of the cement or material. Held, preferably, to a frame 4, suitably secured to the bottom or lower end of the hopper 1, is a casing or chamber 5, having its securing rods or bolts 6 passed through said frame and eye-lugs 6, integral with the circumferential edge of the top and bottom plates of said casing. Said casing has an opening 6* in its top plate at one side for the passage therethrough of the hopper' contents to a point below for a purpose presently explained. Said casing has asecond or delivery opening 6c in its bottom, diagonally opposite to the opening 6b. l/Vithin said casing is arranged a revoluble cylinder or chamber 7, preferably keyed to and carried by a shaft 8, passing through the top and bottom of the casing 6, with its upper end coupled, preferably by a sleeve or collar 8 and setscrews 8b, to the lower end of the shaft 2 to provide for actuating the last named. Said chamber or cylinder 7 has opposite pockets or compartments 7 7l, whose capacities may be varied or adjusted as presently seen, each compartment `having alinement or coincident openings 7c 7d in the top and bottom thereof, respectively, the purpose of which will be apparent later'. Each of said compartments or pockets is adapted, as above intimated, to provide for varying or adjusting its capacity, according to the amount of material it is intended to be finally delivered into the bag or sack for receiving said material. This may be effected, preferably, by providing along the upper edge of one wall of each compartment or pocket a bar 5), spaced off from and integral or in one with said upper edge or wall and providing adjusting-screws 5m, adapted to work in said upper edge or wall, and inserting between said upper edge or wall and said bar a board lx,

reaching down into the pocket or compart-V IOO be varied or adjusted as and for the purposes aforesaid. Said shaft 8, extending below the casing 5,and preferably through a braced tubular extension 5X, integral or in one piece with said casing, is suitably driven or actuated for revolving or actuating the cylinder 7 by intergeared beveled gear-wheels 8c 9, connected to said shaft and a second shaft 9, respectively, said shafts being suitably supported in position.

An inclined chute 10 is bolted or secured to the casing 5 upon its lower side, so as to register with the opening 7 c in the bottom of the cylinder 7, preferably as shown, by suitable angle-irons or brackets 10 10b, secured or riveted to said chute, said bracket 10 having a bolt 10c passed therethrough and an eyelug 101 of said casing and said bracket 10b being adapted to hook over a lip or offset 10e of the tubular extension 5X. Said chute has extending or depending therefrom divergent arms or branches 10f 10E to provide for the delivery of the material passing therethrough at different points, as later described. Said branches or arms have each a preferably short vertical reduced portion or terminal 10g at its lower end, and pivoted at its upper right-hand corner or angle to each of said vertical portions or terminals is a movable or pivoted section or member 10h. Said vertical terminals are each only about half of the cross-sectional area of the arms, of which they are parts, respectively, each pivoted section or member being complemental to each terminal, said sections or members initially lapping said reduced portions or terminals. Said pivoted or movable sections or members 10h are each provided with a fixed hand-lever 11, adapted to be adjustably held or engaged with a rack 11, secured or fixed to the contiguous branch or arm of the chute.

Within the chute 10 is arranged an automatically-actuated two-way valve 12, comprising three angularly-disposed or radial plates or wings 12a 12b 12C, ixed'or united together at a common point, with the axis or pivot extending laterally from said point and bearing in said chute in its sides at the point of conjunction of the opposite inner walls of the chute branches or arms lOf to separately or alternately control the passage of the material from said chute to said branches or arms, according as it is required to deliver said material to a sack applied to either one or the other of said branches. Said valve has its wing 12 adapted to preferably seat in either of two undercut recesses 13 of offsets or deflectors 18 provided upon the inside of the chute 10 at its upper edge. Normally ltwo wings or plates of said valve rest one diagonally within said chute and one across the entrance to one of the branches or arms of said chute, while the third plate or wing rests down into the other of said branches ready to be moved into position to close the same upon the reversal of the position of the plate or valve proper, 1T.

It will be observed that with a bag or sack placed in position for filling, its mouth or open end being applied to and receiving the parts 10g 10, the required hand-lever 11.*is actuated so as to throw the part 10h into the dotted-line posisition, thus stretching and securing said bag or sack in such position. The shaft 9, connected 1up with a suitable driving means, will transmit motion to the shaft 8, in turn actuating the cylinder 7 and the agitators 3 in the hopper 1, previously filled or supplied with cement or other material it is desired to bag. This loosens and effects the passage of said material through the opening 6b in the casing 5 into the cylinder 7 through one of its top openings-as, for instance, the opening 71-the speed of the shafts being so regulated that the corresponding pocket of said cylinder will have been filled, about, by the time said open- 7 d has been moved out of alinement with the opening 6b. The continued rotation of the cylinder 7 will bring the opening 7d in the bottom of said pocket or compartment in register with and effect the delivery of the material contained in said pocket or compartment through the opening 6e in the bottom of the casing 5, whence said material will fall into the chute 10. At this juncture the weight of the material'being received upon the plate or wing 12 of the valve 12 will tilt the valve, permitting the passage of the material down into and thro ugh the corresponding branch or arm 1()f of the chute 10, and simultaneously reverse said valve. The material will pass from said branch or arm into the part 1011 and thence be delivered into the sack or bag, effecting, as thus seen, the bagging of the material.

rIhe reversing of the valve l2 will permit Athe delivery of the next instalment of material through the opening 7c into the compartment or pocket 7 a of the cylinder or cham ber 7 as the last named brings said opening 7 c in alinement or register with the feed-opening 6b. Said last instalment is carried around by the continued rotation of said cylinder or chamber for the delivery thereof through the opening 6c of the casing 5, whence it will be dropped into the chute 10 and thence into and through the other arm or branch 10 and be delivered into a second sack or bag applied or connected thereto. `This operation of thus alternately delivering and filling the material into sacks or bags will be repeated as long as the machine is in action, which 'is effective and expeditious.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a machine of the character described, the carryingchamber having open-ended compartments or pockets, an inclosing casing Afor said chamber having diagonally opposite feed and delivery openings adapted to register with corresponding openings of said compartments or pockets, respectively, a chute connecting With said casing at its deliveryopening and having a two-Way valve arranged therein adapted to be automatically actuated, comprising three Wings, one wing subdividing said chute into compartments, a second Wing closing the discharge end of one compartment, and the third Wing resting or depending in one of said arms or branches` and means for actuating said carrying-chamber, substantially as set forth.

2. In a machine of the character described, the combination with the outer chamber of the carrying chamber or cylinder With a bar spaced off from one upper edge of a compartment-Wall, and with adjusting-screws adapted to provide for the adjustment of a false or auxiliary Wall reaching down into the compartmentor pocket, and means for actuating said carrying chamber or cylinder, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I aiiX my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
